These shoes are narrower and smaller than other Vans shoes. You may have to order the wide fit or half a size up. I wear a men's 8 and I had to reorder the 8.5 for this pair. I had to wear these in a bit longer than other Vans as well. They look great though.

I got these at the Vans store in SLO. The rep said they should fit true to size but I didn't have socks so wasn't able to accurately tell. I got my normal size but they are at least a half size too big, resulting in me flopping around! Super bummed as I was stoked for my first pair of Vans. Size half a size down then your normal size!!

Apparently I wear a 12 1/2 size. The 12 is too small and my feet flop around in the 13s.
If Vans ever make a 12 1/2 I'll buy a hundred pairs. But until then I just can't wear these.

I sent back and reorder which was fine but product was still to small.

I guess you don't get this model for the comfort. Hardly any cushioning but it's a nice casual styled shoe.

Don't remember these being so uncomfortable. Times have changed I guess.

I love the look of the shoes. There is zero support or cushion but that really doesn't bother me. I own several other vans. The reason I will have to return these shoes is that the back is so low and it rubs the back of my ankle raw with every step. I tried wearing bandaids, which Id prefer not to do, but even that didn't help. These shoes were so painful by the end of the day with just minimal amount of walking. Wish I could wear them because they look great, but they're PAINFUL.

Adorable color combo!! I've been looking all over for navy and these would have been SO fun to wear! But, fit slightly short and ZERO support. I'm worried they would not be comfortable on my feet all day, especially after reading the reviews. Thankfully the returns are free at Zappos!

I've been buying the authentics for years, but this time I wanted to try something different so I thought I'd try these. I wish I could still return them, honestly. First off they seem to run even smaller than the authentics that I'm use to, I definitely could have sized up. They're also full of manufacturing flaws that I've had to touch up. On the inside, by the tongue and laces were 2 bright white stripes despite the fact that they're suppose to be mono toned black shoes, so I hit both shoes with a sharpie, but then when I put them on I realized that the stitching on *one* of the tongues was bright white, just on one shoe though. They're uncomfortable and rub on the back of my heel as well. I'm hoping they stretch/break in soon. Not the quality I expected at all. I guess I'll stick to the authentics next time or look somewhere else entirely.

They were not canvas material so I was disappointed. Could’ve gotten the suede ones cheaper.

These are cute shoes. I always liked the looks of Vans. But these have a horrible fit. They are extremely uncomfortable, they have no arch support, they are rigid at my big toe. They are extremely uncomfortable and I have to return them. This breaks my heart because they are super cute but they just are not the right shoe from me.

I bought the red pair for my son. We sprayed the protector on them and he took great care of them. Unfortunately, the red fades. Not even a full year. Nice beautiful and vibrant but it's a disappointment.

I thought they ran narrow, I had to return as I have a little bit of a wider foot.

I had to order a half a size larger than my normal and they fit very well. My only concern is that the half size bigger made the shoe wider for my narrow foot and it’s a bit uncomfortable across the top of my foot. Overall a comfortable shoe.

Great style. Unfortunately that’s it. No cushioning; minimal arch support; narrow toe box. Will try to stretch the toe box and put in arch support.

A good, sturdy shoe. I was used to something with thicker sides which would hold up while putting the shoe on. That didn't happen, but nonetheless I think I have a good shoe.
